Well...there's not much of anything within 1/2 hour of the hotel other than the hotel-owned properties. Check with them to see which of their restaurants will be open and serving lunch during your stay. If it's open, Stickney's (in the basement level of the hotel) is very nice. I was looking forward to lunch there last November, but they were closed for renovations. Fabyian's Station is located just 1/4 mile north of the hotel in an old RR station, and they're almost always open. They have casual pub food. Lots of choices in North Conway, but that will take more than 1/2 hour. Bartlett would be closer, but I'm not sure what's there. You might also check out the new Applachian Mountain Club visitor center. I think they serve some meals. Stop back and let us know what you find.

Think it's a close drive to N. Woodstock - but I remember one of the best breakfasts at Woodstock Inn & Station, they also have lunch and dinner. (doesn't look too far) and has a nice brunch on Sunday if thats your day for venturing out.
